[osis-editors] Additional Questions & Comments

[Patrick Durusau]

Jim,

Just a quick response on the acknowledgement issue.

Apologies for not responding quickly to all posts. There are a number of 
them in the queue so to speak but the press of other duties have delayed 
substantive responses.

Please rest assured that all comments and suggestions are deeply 
appreciated and responses will follow as soon as humanly possible. I 
don't know about my co-editors but I am already pulling 10 hour days on 
ISO drafts due out in the first quarter. Will try to respond to all 
pending posts by the end of this coming week.

Hope everyone is having a great day!

Patrick
